Expect SI labs (eGFR, electrolytes) and provincial formulary hintsโtranslate to risk, not memorized conversions. Primary-care scope NP answers show defensible prescribing changes within scope, consultation when high-risk tapers (benzodiazepines, opioids) need multidisciplinary alignment, and patient safety when acute illness overlaps chronic stacks.
